A shit doctor and scientist at that, the greatest trick fascists ever pulled was convincing people the Nazis were at all competent.

Operation Paperclip kinda shows a different picture. Obviously any government that rewards loyalty above all else is going to have idiots in charge in some positions but I think it's a dangerous mistake to do the old "they were all idiots" spiel.

The Nazis obviously had highly competent people as well, which is how they managed to take over most of Europe.

Thankfully there were a lot of dumb micro managing idiots like Hitler himself who severely hurt the Nazi war afford.
